The minor in Anthropology is designed for students majoring in other fields who wish to take anthropology courses relevant to their interests. The student must choose two introductory courses, two subfield, and three elective courses.

Minor Requirements


At least nine credits must be in upper-division courses. All courses offered for the minor must be passed with a letter grade of C or higher. No transfer credits with a grade lower than C may be applied to the minor requirements. ANP 475 /ANT 475 , ANP 476 /ANT 476 , and ANP 488 /ANT 488  DO NOT count toward the minor requirements. No more than one directed readings (ANP 447 /ANT 447 ) or research course (ANP 487 /ANT 487 ) may be used (maximum of 3 credits).

Completion of the ANT minor requires 21 credits. Students majoring in Human Evolutionary Biology (EBH) may have a maximum of nine credits of overlap between EBH major coursework and ANT minor coursework; thus, completion of the Anthropology minor requires an additional 12 credits of coursework beyond the EBH major.

Subfield Courses (Choose 2)


Two additional courses must be chosen from two different subfields. See “Subfields of Study “ for lists for Biological Anthropology, Archaeology, and Cultural Anthropology courses.

Elective Courses (Choose 3)


Elective courses (at the 200-level or higher) may be drawn from any of the 200+ subfield courses listed above, plus the following:
